Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 480: Be Careful

"Careful! Are you planning to hurt your mate?!" Xiao Shi screamed at the dragon. 

If Xiao Shi had not been in front of Gao Lan Mei all along and had ended up wasting even a second, she would not have been able to save them both from the huge body that suddenly flew towards them. 

'Ggggrowhl!!' 

The dragon growled, probably at what Xiao Shi had said. 

Xiao Shi just rolled her eyes and continued to move away from it. She was thankful that the dragon had not fallen onto the flame wall, but rather across it. Nevertheless, every movement from it was causing a great disturbance in the place. Not to mention the spiritual energy coming from its body, which was pressurizing enough to make the weaker feel suffocated. 

Gao Lan Mei looked back towards the dragon's location at the same instance that its large head moved to look at them directly. She could feel her rising heartbeat as she looked at the dragon's large reptile eyes. The yellow slits that she loved looking at were now surrounded by red making them bloody and dangerous. 

"Jiayi be careful" Gao Lan Mei murmured silently. 

Xiao Shi carried Gao Lan Mei on her back as she ran away from the gigantic creature with dark scales. If not for the firewall near them, she may have never seen it blend so clear and well with the black smoke. 

In truth, Gao Lan Mei preferred to run somewhere else. 'Why not?' She asked herself. It was an idea that she had been toying with for a while now. Then she could that fact that Xiao Shi would not die to buy time and save those that needed to be saved as Gao Lan Mei plans to run, bringing the enemies' with her towards their endings. 

'Ggggrowhl!!' 

The dragon suddenly growled loudly in Gao Lan Mei's direction, like it was protesting to what she was thinking. Its massive body, with red eyes having slits of yellow. Fangs that looked so sharp within its mouth and could easily cut her into two. 

Since the dragon was also surrounded by Impurities, this should have scared Gao Lan Mei. However, she did not feel an ounce of fear by looking at the massive creature. 

Gao Lan Mei had a feeling of nostalgia instead while staring at the huge bloody reptile eyes like she had seen them before. She tried so hard to remember where, but the more she did, the more her head ached. 

She frowned in confusion as Gao Lan Mei bit her lower lip. Her gaze locked on the dragon that seemed to be studying her as well. 

Aside from the confusion, the compelling feeling of connection to get closer to the massive beast was also prominent. She wanted to get closer to it, badly. 

'Probably because he bit me without permission?' Gao Lan Mei was concerned because of the feeling. It only meant that Wei Jiayi had claimed her as his mate. She wanted to get close to it, despite initially wanting to leave. 

The dragon seemed to know what she really wanted because it suddenly leaped and landed near Gao Lan Mei and Xiao Shi. They were so close to the firewall but needed to stop instantly as scared that the dragon might step on them. 

'THUD'

'THUD' 

By doing so, the dragon's movement had caused dirt to rise in the air. More so when it used its long tail to block their path and stop them from running. 

"Ah! What in the underworld are you doing?!" Xiao Shi screamed furiously in surprise from the sudden arrival of the beast near them. 

She was also annoyed that another addition to the impurities were the dirt and tiny stones that had mixed in the air. They won't kill but were still bothering her. It also happened too quickly, so Xiao Shi needed to get down on the ground. 

'Ggggrowhl!!' 

The dragon growled at them, but softer than its previous sudden movement. Its nose twitching like it was smelling them. 

'Do not try something else.' Xiao Shi silently warned while sending death glare at the dragon. She was also making sure not to miss any movement since that time; after all, they were at the mercy of a deadly beast. In all honesty, she did not even know how to fight it.  

Then the chains around its body were clinging, that they could not help but shift their gaze on them instead. Xiao Shi's gaze stayed at the golden chains around the dragon's upper body. She shook her head as it was not her business. 

Then releasing a heavy breath, "Go to the enemies and finish them. You are scaring your own mate if you are around like this. No one wants to see you accidentally stepped on her," Xiao Shi said, reprimanded. In all honesty, if a mated female heard this statement, she might scowl at Xiao Shi, as a mate could never hurt the other. 

She then stood up from the ground before glancing at Gao Lan Mei, who was as pale as a ghost. "Miss, it's alright," Xiao Shi assured as she moved her arms slightly to make sure that she was still carrying Gao Lan Mei properly. 

What if the dragon was not Wei Jiayi? If that was really the case, Xiao Shi and Gao Lan Mei were sure to have nearly died just then. 

Xiao Shi noticed Gao Lan Mei breathing heavily. She was taking air in and out like she had just run very fast. 

Gao Lan Mei was more surprised than scared. However, by seeing Wei Jiayi's dragon this close, flashes of images ran through her head. 

The images appeared so vivid and fast. Accompanied by those images was a sharp pain that almost caused her to lose her consciousness.
